Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Buckingham

Severe burden reaches 34%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The dominant input is local political climate at 8.5/10.

It sits 1.5 points above the Arlington County average of 5.9. Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.4/10. The filing record is not thin: 108 evictions over 1 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2016, when 5.2% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 5.2% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 87% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 8.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the VA average is 4.2, so this tract runs 3.2 points hotter.
